  I tried using two different AID systems and had trouble with both. My blood glucose generally ran too high, making me feel tired and thirsty. So, I stopped using them. My A1C actually went up on automated delivery and is now coming back down.

  I have only been on the OmniPod 5 for 1 day. It is too soon for me to really know.

  Yes. Hard to answer. I don't think I adapted. My low A1c went up on Medtronic's SmartGuard Auto Mode. My insurance switched me to Dexcom, killing that anyway. Will start Omipod 5 SmartAdjust next week!

  I immediately saw a reduction in basal units/day. With Medtronic pump, my basal pattern was covering for the high BGs. With Tandem and Control iQ, control boluses covered my brittle T1D rapid rises. I also noticed a more stable night-time BG with Sleep Mode. There were some shifts in rises in BG to different parts of the day. However, I also retired from a high stress career at the same time.

  I use tandem and Dexcom with Control-IQ.

  My morning blood sugars stabilized.

  I had to look at my Dexcom clarity reports to make sure, but in the first three months of use there were a bit more lows, by about 30%, but they didn't last as long as before Control-IQ. The lows before could last quite some time. The information from above helped determine my very high insulin sensitivity. Time in Range improved immediately along with my HA1C.

  Same here. Six months and then back in the box it went (and remains). I went back to my old reliable Paradigm + Dexcom---hated the Guardian 3 sensors too. Hated all the calibration. Hated running high because you can't set your own target. I'm now way overdue for a new pump if I want one, but much as i look into other AID offerings--and I've done a LOT of it---the evidence to my eye says they really aren't there yet. Some improvements over the 670, sure, but still lots of people who had ~6.0 or better A1Cs struggling to find work-arounds to make the AID pump perform as well. I get that there ARE good use-case candidates for these things but at present state of development I'm not one of them.

  My favorite was basal iq which I couldn’t get back once I switched to Control iQ. I got many more days of 100% in range with Basal iQ. I wish we could choose our way since we are the ones who have to deal with this disease on a daily basis.

  I... had a hard time letting go, so it's hard to tell if there was a difference because of the Control-IQ or because I couldn't stop fiddling with it. Ultimately, I now have better control with less intervention on my part, but I don't know that the pattern is different.

  My nights are considerably more even which is good. However I think the tandem is gives way too many tiny doses which do nothing. I over ride it often duting the day.

  Omnipod 5 has done a great job on Auto mode overnight and when BG is fairly stable I.e. not spiking. For meals and correcting BG spikes I use Manual mode on Omnipod 5.

  670g… but BG patterns did not change for the better. I returned this system 6 months after starting it.. sensor was horrible! Still is!

  I’d move to Omnipod 5 in a minute—-but sadly Tricare (military insurance) isn’t covering it yet.

  For the first time in 60 years I consistently wake up with BG at 110 +/- 10mg/dl

  After I began using the T:slin with Control IQ in October 2020, I was waking up with "normal" glucose levels. I'd always had difficulty combatting Dawn Phenomenon. I LOVE Control IQ. Even before using it, I was able to keep my A1c in the low 6's but Control IQ makes it easier to do so. My last A1c was 6.0 in July and my July Tandem stats show 93% in range.

  I'm a newbie to the system, and it is bringing out some of the extremes that were going on, making it easier to correct them.

  Before Tandem t:slim x2 I had for fifteen yrs previously been on 3 different pumps. I had used the Dexcom G4 & G5 for a total of 6 yrs so using G6 was easy.. I received excellent patient education prior to using the t:slim. The transition was smooth.

  I immediately saw an improvement. I was having one or two lows per week. Now, I rarely have a low that incapacitates me. It has been a miracle to always know where my bg is.

  I answered "other" because I am staying with BIQ. The CIQ target is too high for me. But I wanted to answer so I could see others replies and get updates.
